I spent yesterday pretty much as expected – catching up after having been out of town for a week, followed by a weekend of Saints games. There were bills to be paid, invoices to be submitted, and clients to update. I also surprised myself a bit when I called up Marcy and made an appointment to get my hair cut again. As it turned out, she had an opening yesterday afternoon, so I got on the bus and headed down there, then stopped off for some happy hour at Keegan’s on the way home to spend the evening watching TV.
It’s an exciting life I lead, isn’t it? But hey, today I get a new drier and if the weather holds decent, get to weed the garden and mow the lawn. The excitement just keeps on rolling.

If someone tries to sell you a 250 pound bronze scuplture of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, you should probably punch that someone in the groin. Or call 911. The PiPress article Church, community ‘ripped off’ has more.

- Meanwhile, the ITU says Spammers can be beaten in two years if we all just work together and trust the governments, software companies and ISPs to solve the problem. [fark!]
